Throwing
tantrums when not allowed to play video games ain't exactly a new thing
for parents, but there's a small twist in what the Yang family in Chongqing,
China, is facing:

Yang Yang (pseudonym) was at home playing video games all day last
Wednesday. Unhappy that her son was gaming all day, as well as worried
for his well-being, Yang's mother wanted him to take a break.

After a failed attempt by the her mother to get Yang Yang to relax,
Mr. Yang became fed up with his son's attitude and barged into his room.
Seeing his son's room covered with snack wrappers and empty soda bottles,
Mr. Yang asked Yang Yang how long he's been playing. He flippantly replied
"not long."

Angered by his response, Mr. Yang seized Yang Yang's keyboard and smashed
it to the ground. Shocked and angry, Yang Yang gave his father a death
stare only to be told by his father "The heck are you looking at?
Time for Dinner."

As soon as Mr. Yang left Yang Yang's room, he locked the door.

Yang Yang, a man in his twenties, locked himself in his room, inside
his parents house, for a whole night, refusing to eat or drink anything.

first: Link

A man in his 20s is within his rights to decide if and when he wants to eat. He should be buying his own groceries, anyway, or at least cooking for his parents. It seems like the time to solve this problem was ten to twenty years ago.
